Also, I would like it if the dogs looked a little bit more scary, or at least kept the colors of the setting more (blues, grays)... I like the orange though.

I vaguely remember intending the flower in her hair to be a pomegranate blossom, but I know it's not very obvious (and I doubt I could ever really change that). I never really thought of putting the actual fruit in there... I don't know if it would read very well in her hand unfortunately.

As for a pup named Scooby Cerberus, he is doomed to cuteness as I can't really change him without messing up my composition pretty bad. One of the reasons he ended up white/orange is because any other color from my 6 makes him disappear into the background. I also think he helps to lighten the mood, which I know won't please mythology buffs, but given all the many dark facets of this particular myth it seemed the better approach for something you wear on your torso.

An big update on one of the first designs I submitted to woot a year back or so. Based on the Greek myth of Persephone and Hades, I thought it'd kinda cool to have Hades amusing Persephone in the Underworld with Cerberus hangin' out with them.

I've never questioned any of my rejections before but this one was a real...disappointing surprise This design (the first version, I remade it for this derby) was scoring at other contests in the past, like Threadless or Lafraise, but not now, that was a long time ago and I've seen many artists using past designs from other contests...!! At the moment it's just scoring at shirt.woot...Don't know why shirt.woot thought it was scoring somewhere else and rejected it...

Great design, first shirt I've voted for in weeks. I'm really holding out hope it doesn't get beat out by some cutesie teddy bear hugging a kitty with a greek flag in the background since thats the only type of thing that seems to win these days. Anyway...great shirt!
